Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf Launches Digital Ad Campaign to Celebrate the
Beloved Latte - Ditch the Bitter and Choose the Better
March 22 - 2021
Coffee Geography Magazine
Life has been a bit bitter this past year, but things are about to get better.
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® brand, one of the world's leading roasters and
retailers of specialty coffee and tea has launched its newest digital ad
campaign that highlights their Café Latte – the silky, smooth latte that is
simply better, not bitter.
Through
social listening efforts, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® found coffee consumers
touting the brand as better, with competitor's coffee being seen as bitter.
This insight led to the Ditch the Bitter. Choose the Better. campaign. The
digital ads show the unavoidable visceral reaction to drinking a bitter latte
that everyone has experienced. This campaign looks to underscore the problem
and offer a better, not bitter alternative.
"We
are extremely passionate about our espresso and want to celebrate one of our
longest standing beverages and traditions – the latte," said Jay Isais,
vice president, coffee, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® brand. "Our new ad
campaign aims to show how The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® uses the finest
Arabica coffees for our Espresso Roast Blend to craft a perfectly balanced
silky, smooth latte with that distinct sweeter, lighter and friendlier coffee
taste that our guests crave and enjoy."
Jay Isais, , vice president, coffee, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® brand
Made
from the finest 100 percent Arabica coffee beans from five premier growing
regions, each bean type in the brand's signature Espresso Roast Blend is
roasted individually to its peak flavor, then blended together to create the
smooth, balanced flavor profile that produces a better flavor latte. While some
in the industry mass roast beans from different origins to serve millions of
lattes each day, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf® philosophy and meticulous
method is to prevent the over-roasted and charred, burnt taste that is
notorious with other coffee competitors.
For
spring, the company has also introduced new baked goods and prepared food items
that pair perfectly with the Café Latte. They are available to guests now
through May 18 and include:
Zucchini
Chia Muffin- Zucchini muffin topped with chia, pumpkin, sunflower seeds and a
dash of coconut flakes.
Turkey
Pesto Sandwich - Turkey pesto with provolone cheese, tomato and spinach on a
ciabatta bun.
Chicken
Banh Mi - Marinated chicken with pickled carrots, daikon radish and sliced
cucumber on a French roll.
From
March 15-19, guests can enjoy a regular size Café Latte for just $3.00
(normally $4.15). The offer is available from 2pm-close and includes
nonflavored hot or iced latte beverages.
The
Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf® brand is open and serving local communities safely
and following all necessary COVID-19 precautions.
